A vile pervert caught with horrific images including a rape and children being tortured used a "Jimmy Savile" email address to indicate his sick interest to others.
Married dad Joseph Pond had downloaded thousands of shocking images featuring victims of sexual abuse aged between one month and eleven years old. A court heard the material was "about as serious as they get".
Pond, 53, was arrested at his then family home in Morpeth, Northumberland, on January 5 last year following intelligence from the National Crime Agency about the use of an email address at the property.
